From the President
As fall semester comes to an end and the holiday season begins, I want to express my sincere gratitude to our faculty and staff for your contributions over the past year.
As I reflect on another extraordinary year, I am filled with gratitude that we’ve pushed past the pandemic and through it all, we’ve remained Southwest strong.
We welcomed our promising students back to our classrooms and kept our campuses safe, all thanks to your hard work and diligence. No matter where you served or your role, your commitment to the college and our mission has been commendable, and I am incredibly grateful and proud to work alongside you.
I sincerely hope that you can take some time over the winter break to unwind, rest and spend time with your family and friends.
When we return, I look forward to sharing the exciting plans we have for the new year. Enjoy your holidays and come back refreshed and renewed for another exciting year ahead; the best is yet to come!
As a reminder, Southwest campuses will be closed December 24 through January 2, 2023.
Have a great winter break, Saluqis! See you in 2023!
Dr. Tracy D. Hall
President
